New International Version NIV
New King James Version NKJV
1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
1
A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.”
2
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."
3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.”
3
As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips.
4
Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.
5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure.
5
O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
6
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
7
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
8
I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
9
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay.
10
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
11
You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
